No it shouldn't. Items in the select list are not attributes. Since
the WHERE phase logically precedes evaluation of the SELECT output list,
you can hardly expect to be able to use SELECT outputs in WHERE.
You could work around this with a nested sub-SELECT, viz
select * from
(select *, (CASE ...) AS encontrados FROM admin_view) subsel
WHERE subsel.nivel=1 AND subsel.encontrados > 0;
at a possible penalty in performance.
